Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified
Learning outcomes
Geometry and differential (integral) Calculus is used to study curves (cycloids, helix) and surfaces (ruled surfaces, surfaces of revolution). Frenet-formulas for curves, the osculating plane and osculating circle are presented. The course is also devoted to important curves on the surface (asymptotic curves, lines of curvature and geodesic curves). Mean and Gaussian curvature and cartographic mappings are introduced.
